First off, my apologies if this is not in the correct place.
I am having big problems at home of seeing whats going on in the cabin. It says you need to be logged on to view the forum but if I click log in, it just repeats the same message.
I can log on from work fine (as this post proves)
I would ask if any one else is in the same boat but they probably cannot see this post...
I would like to have it at home because Christmas without popping in to have a quick read would not be the same.
Merry Christmas
Cheers Carl

try and view the cabin through a proxy, it may be that your home ip subnet is banned from one of the spammers and is preventing you from logging on, ive had this problem in the past such as
http://www.daveproxy.co.uk/
type in http://www.pavingexpert.com/ and navigate to the cabin see if you can log in. if you can log in then then its not an issue with your pc.
then send us your ip and the gaffer should be able to sort it out.
if not delete any brew cabin related cookies in which ever browser you are using or try an alternative browser say firefox or googles chrome is good.
hope this helps

Thanks LLL, Giles.
I am not back at home untill Friday so I will try firefox then. If not I will ask Tony to add my ip address to the safe list.
Trouble is I have not got a static ip address, as yet it has never changed but it could.
Cheers Carl

I had the same problem recently.
One office I worked at automatically blocked some websites.
I think all company servers do and it just so happens this website was blocked.
The IT dept. were quite happy to fix it and put www.paving expert on the safe list. The blocking is done automaticaly.
Regards,
Colin

Sorry, point is, if it is your own machine, you can set the authority yourself, via Control Panel, Internet Connections etc.
If you have access to a teenager they will fix it in two minutes.
Regards,
Colin.

very unlikely to be this at his home it will be more to do with variable length subnet allocations throughout the internet to allow more address on certain subnets the way an ip works is there are 4 subnets and certain providers are allocated a chunk so bt might get 127.xxx.xxx.xxx which gives them millions of ips to then distribute but some small outfit might get a small subnet using variable length subnets so 192.168.12x.xxx give couple thousand ips etc.
so the point being if banned thn an ip range say i.e 123.231.0.0 thats bans about 65000 ips

Might be unrelated, but on Monday evening from 5ish til half 11, I couldn't access the 'cabin, or rather, it wouldn't load.
